Tonight, Pulp Fiction is announcing that we will no longer be selling comics or board games. Instead, we will be exclusively selling cats and cat-related items.

Okay, that’s obviously an April Fool’s joke, but one that’s not far off. Pulp has been getting barraged lately with cat themed games, including a couple this weekend. First up, is Here, Kitty, Kitty! In the game, your neighborhood is overrun with cuddly, furry felines, which means that everyone is in a frenzy to kidnap them. Players take turns playing cards that move cats from the center of the table into their house marker. Beware, though, because some cards can also steal cats from inside others’ houses.

Cat game number two, is Tem Purr A, a push-your-luck game about glutinous cats. Taking place at an all cat Japanese eating contest, Tem Purr A has three to seven players laying down numbered cards to try and out-eat other players. However, other players can shove food down your throat and possibly cause you indigestion. Even worse, pushing your luck too far can lead to death.

Like other collector’s packs, Fionna and Cake comes with two completely built forty card decks, each centered around one of the titular characters.

From the makers of Smash-Up and more, AEG, comes Greedy Greedy Goblins. A fast moving tile-laying game, Greedy Greedy Goblins is a competitive game, but one that has players drawing and laying tiles simultaneously. Tiles are drawn and placed face down on each player’s respective cave board, then, once the tiles are depleted, players commence using dynamite and other tokens to mine their cave for loot. If the name didn’t clue you in, the wealthiest goblin wins.

Before the next season premieres, brush up on your Game of Thrones knowledge with Fantasy Flight‘s new Game of Thrones: The Trivia Game.

Eminent Domain claims plenty of territory this weekend with not one, but two releases.

Designed to be played in twenty minutes with three to five players, Battlecruisers is a bluffing game where cards that are played one turn can still effect the outcome a turn later.

We began with cute, cuddly kittens and we wrap up with terrifying, blood-curdling xenomorphs.
